Pat Martino - Oleo 1

[pretorious700]

If you buy the Pat Martino model, does it allow you to play like him?........just kidding.

[pockthehairy]

is that keith from the office (uk) on the piano?

[3idriantx]

chumlee on piano

[animefansonet]

Go Pat Martino!

[Jazzhardmusic]

musicians please

[orlandoCF1]

That guy is pretty hot..................but have you heard George really take off?

[MarcBeckK]

What an unusual left hand playing style.

[pretorious700]

@MarcBeckK It's called "mastery"

[neilraoufsw]

in pat we trust!

[orlandoCF1]

Absolutely killin, the ultimate in cool. I cant think of any one else alive other than maybe George Benson that could match something like this.....................not speaking of competing or anything just level of playing.

[korntwist1]

@orlandoCF1 Andreas Oberg.

[justinjonesypoo]

eighth note galore. i love pat martino.

[TheTasbo]

very good amazing guitarist. I'd like to play like him...I'm so studing

[MONTOYAXX1]

ajaja que musica tan Fea¡

[arielvalle1]

@MONTOYAXX1 Tomaré tu opinión musical de quien viene, un amante del reggetón !

[PL4894]

Damn, one of the best jazz guitar players ever

[wreyoG]

magic fingers...damn this is the most fast guitar playing i ve heard...

[gannonb4u]

No one should be allowed to play this good TWICE in their life!

[DajaWaja]

ahhhh ok i hear the bridge but this sounds like is highly re-harm' ed

[DajaWaja]

i know they be playing oleo but during the solos that's not your tipical rhythm changes it sounds to me like they be playing the solos modal, dontcha think?

[zachjal]

@DajaWaja You can play Bb blues if you want over the A's. Its all in how you think of it.

[DajaWaja]

@zachjal ppffff what are you talking about? this has nothing to do with what i was saying

[DajaWaja]

@zachjal What are you talking about? Scales? This has nothing to do with what i was saying. Blues ''flavor'' can be used whenever you hear it

[jeustor]

definitely the best guitarist in the world...

[egyptianminor]

It's not so much about chromatic scales, as much as it is about bebop scales- that is , inserting the appropriate chromatic tone into any diatonic seven note scale.

[ReubenAdkins]

Pat and Joey? Oh yeah!

[stellablr]

Pat is one my guitar heros who inspired me to play Jazz ....cheers . Gerard Machado

[stellablr]

My favourite Jazz guitarist amazing Pat ..play on.....

[janecroft]

Pat's lines are too complex for ten people.

[padleynj]

Martino, always the Grand Master of the guitar!!!! No one could touch him!!

[GreyF4CE]

/watch?v=Ko0kdCf0zTE

[MarvinSheats]

Pat is so very smooth. Awesome!!!

[JWenhardtMusic]

@z0mgzt0m

If you like jazz fusion, then be sure to check out the brecker brothers, chick corea, herbie hancock, etc.

[Bruno8081]

why does the cameraman changes views so many times ??? i don't want to see the camera moving, I just want to see pat, joey and the drummer play!!!

[jghunlimited]

Another great video.

[phrytsak1]

Is this avaiable on DVD?



[Crashlinevas]

Patrick Star led me here...Free Form Jazz!!

[Bugera369]

I wish my name were Pat so I could be incredible at Jazz guitar.

[oldsyphilitic]

@Bugera369 Your comment, tongue in cheek I hope, reminds me of an old question: 'How do you get to Carnegie Hall?' Answer- PRACTICE

[AmericanDiaz]

@oldsyphilitic How do you get to Carnegie Hall? connections connections connections, haha

[pretorious700]

fuckin' Pat....the man shuts people up.badass motherfucker

[dashe60]

martino is the man...but do you hear the drummer and the organ? they are on a communication quest. They connect big time. Each guy is listening to the other.

This is music!!!

[xoeidi]

@dashe60 that's because they are Joey Defrancesco and Byron Landham, they play togheter a LOT :) just heard them with another guitar player in Bern, Switzerland! Was amazing! Keep groovin'

[dashe60]

@xoeidi it makes a great difference when musician play together a lot. The synergy is so different. Its funny but I can tell the difference.

[johngeetar]

I wish I became a complete badass then forgot how to play guitar then figured it out again only to be a complete badass again.

[xXironraiderXx]

Martino's phrases are incredible.. master of the guitar

[ribslaver]

sou fã do pat martino,sou guitarrista do brasil,sou louco pelo som do jazz dele.

[chickenslayer666]

Bliss

[z0mgzt0m]

Im trying to get into more jazz, reccommend me some stuff? :D

I particularly like jazz fusion :)

[alspageddi]

@z0mgzt0m for guitarists: pat metheny, john mclaughlin, john scofield, george benson, allan holdsworth, frank gambale, al di meola, paco de lucia, shawn lane, morten faerestrand, etc....those are at varying levels of "jazz" and "jazz rock/fusion"

for other instrumentalists, check out the big names: charlie parker, john coltrane, sonny rollins, thelonius monk, dizzy gillespie, art tatum, etc. etc.

[z0mgzt0m]

@alspageddi Thanks dude, much appreciated :)

[alspageddi]

@z0mgzt0m no prob! i can't believe i forgot to mention bireli lagrene, though! ahh, i could mention 100 more musicians if i tried...i'm sure you have enough to keep you busy for now, though

[guitarsumo007]

That licks around 3:00 are really good!

[ragyps]

Les italiens sont vraiment les meilleurs en guitare : Steve Vai, Satriani, Petrucci, Sambora, Pat Martino, Frank Marino, ..etc..etc

[SlikkTim]

@ragyps sauf que tous ces mecs sont ricains lol



[ragyps]

@SlikkTim

Oui mais par rapport aux français d'origine, ils sont pas mal.

[gormarx]

@ragyps Pat Metheno... :)))

[duendeflamenco87]

@gormarx HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL!!!!!!!!!! :D

[lousarh]

@ragyps True... Robert Conti (?), Frank Gambale, Tony Pulizzi, Dave Martone and so on... by the way...even on this video hammond got his master : Joey DeFrancesco... one more time an italian... :))) Ciao ! ;)

[Nowhereman90]

I love the rearmonization of the head. its a great progression, anyone knows how it is?

[MrBlack125]

ahhhh what gives it just cut off. :(  Amazing tho

[Felixxe1]

Probably the best version of this tune !

Pat's playing's so smooth and the organist is incrediblely skilled

[phydauex]

@Felixxe1 that's Joey DeFrancesco, he's a monster and about the only organist I can think of who can keep up with Pat. Just stellar playing!

[sandroroj]

Thats Pat!!!!!! yeah!!

[dougsusername]

it's looks like his guitar is fretless the way his hands move.damn

[LenonGuitarPraise]

q massa

[maydecember513]

Wow look at that awesome desktop Mac at 0:10

[SRVMOE]

They should release this whole show on DVD !!!!! Pat is on !!!!!

[Kaitano94]

Who's the drummer?

[nonfictreader]

organist is joey defrancesco

[joshuahamker15]

who is playing organ, anyone know?

[Kaitano94]

@joshuahamker15 Joey DeFrancesco

[AmundLauritzen]

@joshuahamker15 I like your sense of humor.

[supermaques]

hahahaha the bass on the a section of the head is so sweet.

[alzhammer1]

the only thing that guy can do is speed .... If you talk about feeling, Victor van Kampen is the supreme master..... Sorry Pat

[Gigfin]

@alzhammer1  You can't be serious? Your ears must have become numb from to much toe tappin' to smooth jazz.. Got Kenny G?

[lesmiralha]

@alzhammer1 Change your nickname to alzheimer.

[serotone9]

@alzhammer1 lol, bro you're clueless.

[idostuff147]

I would do things for that guitar...

[serotone9]

@idostuff147 how about practicing?

[OISSELAtube]

what a guitarist,and what a beautiful guitar too

[Kaitano94]

That is one swingin drummer. woooooo

[jhebda]

Those cats are crazy or what? Love Pat Martino's phrasing. How can DeFrancesco play bass with his feet being so fat? ;-)

[KrummyBear]

Joey Defrancesco is a haus.

[monkeys350]

NO MID ORGAN SOLO IT STOPPED MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE COMPLETE UNTIL I HEAR THE REST OF IT! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

[redplouhg]

パット神

デフランセスコ神

[davetone]

I think that might be Billy Hart on drums - great performance. I saw this trio when they were recording live at Yoshi's in Oakland, Ca. Incredible show. It's so great to see Pat back on top of his game and burnin' like this!

[bealmond]

@davetone That's definitely not Billy Hart on drums. It's Byron Landham, who's only about 30 years younger than Billy. Both are superlative jazz drummers who have played with some of the same people, but they are from different generations.

[flipadiddle]

@davetone the drummer is byron landham.

[fatalbert51888]

this is a great session, the drummer plays great this song

[xXironraiderXx]

My 2nd favorite guitarist next to GB... He's badass

[coheed0211]

Idk if anyone watches pawn stars, but the dude playin piano looks exactly like chum lee.

[omarsenal]

que cabron es Pat!

[letolp]

who is the drummer on this?

[chillaxinWITbra]

@killlalaland i'll just have a cheeseburger with cheese and a minor scale with dorian.

[killlalaland]

@chillaxinWITbra i'll serve it up with a side order of large words and a big glass of missing the point! :-)

[chillaxinWITbra]

@killlalaland no dude.

[Triadboynuke]

He's a mother

[killlalaland]

@killlalaland damn it, wrong 'their'

[perovaas]

Who's the drummer?

[mojoefly]

so damned refined. so clean. so nice to my ears.

[sclogse1]

Just saw pat tonight...june 1 2010. Looks better than ever, and his hair looks really bad ass...long and thick in the back, not like this...and he played in a white open neck raised color shirt and black vest. He was styling. Best show I've seen him do. Very bluesy, but big and loud, super punchy playing. Spectacular.

[Breakfastskater]

@sclogse1 where?

[Breakfastskater]

@sclogse1 where?

[sclogse1]

@Breakfastskater

I sent you a long message on your youtube page about the whole show.

[ScageyGuitarist]

AMAZING :O Been listening to Pat for a bit now, reeeeeally like his playing, just stunning. Definately in my top 3 fave jazz players...

[perovaas]

This is a very well contained rendition of Oleo - as it is the usual thing with the unique Martino. DeFrancesco is tighter than ever! Liked it very much. Who's the drummer?

[chrispeedk]

Who is the drummer?

[boazmoss]

you can sub Oleo and play the first 16 measures of So What, the Italians won't

know the difference...

[virgil2222]

i love Pat martino , he's swinging like a god

[insaneguitarfreak]

intense playing! ^^

[Guitarslingersoloist]

I love Pat Martino, he is an a amazing single note soloist, but with all do respect , he needs to take a breather from time to time, sometimes less is more. I need a aspirin.

[yumyumguitar]

@Guitarslingersoloist

Agreed, it'd be nice to see him reorient some of his seemingly endless energy away from the notefest flurry and into dynamics, space, and feeeeeeling.

[junboymolave]

@Guitarslingersoloist He doesn't need to take a breather, he's one powerful diesel locomotive ! That's his trademark..

[f15r18]

Damn...this is good music!!

[potatoepeter1]

das grooft, da geht was.Pat=absolut

[GiorgosDas]

Actually you might even eventually say "I am playing THIS thing now and now THAT other one"

[jclev99]

@Wongywong my brain is melting and running out of my nostrils because of your post. thx

[goonodeath]

Wow...amazing.

[trauma15]

harmony on head is very cool

[SIRONEDRAGON]

[HIROYUKIAIDA]

After

[Tarabos1]

I think alreadywoundpie is right. In Jazz, you have a theoretical cornerstone you can build your free scales on. That is the beauty of freedom in Jazz -improvisation! It would be boring just playin´ c dorian or a c minor pentatonic with some blue notes. Larry Coryell or John Scofield would play an entire different solo and "all would fit" anyway. Individuality and freedom, that´s all, what is Jazz about. Your ear will tell you instantly, when you pick a "wrong" note...

[larry3393]

Does any1 kno if they are just playing the common Oleo changes? cause it sounds dorianish. Are they changing the A section to Cmin for C dorian ?

tnys

[GiorgosDas]

@larry3393 yes. And the B also

[furesyu]

チョー正確！

[sclogse1]

Just watch the right hand...lots to learn right there...

[tpritchas14]

duude 2:40 gimme a break

[jazzuffe]

The best jazz-guitarr... player of all time!

[kalpal67]

i think GB takes tha spot but pat is pretty good

[Sailjunkie61]

Hey, that looks like Joey D on the B3!

[cyhayward]

slick drums

[otnas01]

All this talk about modes,hmmm don't you guys know that modes don't make jazz.like Bird said you can play any note on any given chord.listen and transcribe from the masters and if you're lucky you might play Jazz.

[AmundLauritzen]

@otnas01 True! and Martino himself says that his playing is based on melodic motifs. He listened to and transcribed a lot of jazz - mainly Wes Montgomery. I bet that in the heat of the moment he doesnt think "Oh shoot, theres that Cm7! Dorian or Melodic minor?". In his instructional DVDs he says he never thought about modes.

Its all about learning the language and creating your own voice from there :)

[minor7b5SM]

Very true. I've never heard anything that Parker has said or written about jazz but I've transcribed his stuff and found myself thinking "oh my god he'll play any note he wants and make it sound groovin." Parker was insane, in many ways, playing major 7ths over dominant chords and such, but if you study him he's really THE model for jazz. Jazz is boundary-free music, all this theory is just mere suggestions. To make jazz requires no requirements but learning to play and playing your heart out

[billdaniel92]

you have to know the theory behind it unless you expect to get lucky. you cant just be a lick book.

[otnas01]

of course theory is useful but theory on its own never makes Jazz. How many people who are fluent at a language know all about the grammar involved? You adopt the words and sounds then make your own sentences. As for the 'lick book', every melodic phrase is some sort of lick.; it all depends how you use it. That's the problem with a lot of jazz education..theory,theory,theor­y.There is only one scale(in western music) and that's the chromatic scale

[billdaniel92]

you make an excellent point! I'm attempting to say you need both :)

[kalpal67]

thats actually very true. i was playing jazz long before i knew theory, i just couldn't tell you what i was doing back then

[alreadywoundpie]

Yes, but to continue with the language comparison, jazz is pretty much the Latin of music. It's awfully difficult to imagine someone capable of stringing two sentences together without at least *some* advanced knowledge of grammar. English, by contrast, is a very easy, adaptable language--perhaps the blues? Not saying any language or style is "better" but some just flat-out require more technical knowledge. I definitely agree that intimate knowledge of theory doesn't translate to great music

[alreadywoundpie]

I should add a note to my post--latin isn't the best metaphor, because it's structurally restrictive, whereas the whole point of jazz is toying with structures and doing one's own thing. It's just that theory makes it easier to understand what people before you did so that you can more easily get a "traditional" sound. That's the point of theory for any genre. The people who contribute new ideas aren't relying heavily on theory. As you say, there's only 1 scale--go nuts and see what happens.

[Parvenu333]

@otnas01 Except if you study harmony at all, you learn that there are in fact many scales and you learn what they sound like. The chromatic scale does not sound a unity with a Cmaj7b5 chord. The chromatic scale does not sound a unity with a F-7b5 chord.

The chromatic scale sounds a unity with a Cmaj13 add#11, b9, #9, b13, #15 chord. How often do you see that chord? The answer is never.

Your comment is an oversimplification of harmony that will lead people down the wrong path.

[otnas01]

@Parvenu333 I admit I was a bit simplistic, but if you have studied Jazz harmony as long as I have and have transcribed solos ranging from Scott Joplin to John Scofield you'd know what I mean. I'm afraid you are like a lot of my students; when presented with a Cmaj7b5 they play around with the C Lydian mode. However, when I play a lick such as starting on the 13th(A) and descending chromatically to the 6th (A), they are baffled how great it sounds ; true Jazzers have that ability. Wrong path eh?

[Parvenu333]

@otnas01 I wasn't actually implying that you haven't studied harmony, I was just using that to make a point. But, I understand where you're coming from. I'm gonna have to try that lick ;)

[oldpython]

@otnas01 I agree. Language is communication WITH not at or to; with! Impro Music should give and take; very little in jazz today . The new thing with jazz instruction Q&A. A question has a reason waiting for a spontaneous answer not a meorized figure from a set of tables and it must entertain the audience. My very talented jazz monster friends feel that jazz needs no audience. It's music for art saked. To many self acclaimed artists in jazz today.

[fabianidhesona]

@otnas01 thats right. its all about the chromatic scale.

[HendrixPrinceFlea89]

@otnas01 well put sir

[spacepatrolman]

@otnas01 george russell said there are 12 chromatic scales

[William102582]

@otnas01 yeah ok, try to teach just a chromatic scale to a beginner musician, let's see if anyone can learn anything from that. Proper music education is IMPORTANT, one has to start somewhere before being able to play good, better than just talking about things he has no clue.

[otnas01]

@William102582 Er..I don't know about you but I don't teach beginners Pat Martino. If you read my comments properly you'd know exactly what I mean regarding the use of chromatics. All the Jazz greats from Charlie Christian to Mike Brecker use this device. Indeed it is not a coincidence that many compositions such as Hot House , Straight No Chaser,Donna Lee etc have chromatic passages. It is the fundamental ingredient. You cannot play this type of Jazz just using standard diatonic scales!

[sclogse1]

Helps to to be able to hear what you want to play in your head before you try it on a keyboard or guitar...these guys....man....

[junka22]

yeah, it's obviously very beneficial to know beforehand how a given note sounds on top of a given harmony, be it via using only your ear or by having studied theory. No one will sound convincing just playing random notes, you have to actually hear the music in your head before you play. "Only play what you hear. If you don't hear anything, don't play anything. " -Chick Corea

[hankhannaford]

@junka22 unfortunately that would mean the world would be full of silent musicians

[posueso]

alguien sabe si es luis zepeda al piano?

[laletemelgarete]

no, es Pedro Weber Chatanooga y su teclado magico

[MagnusLindblOOm]

Man he is good. Just love pat martinos playing =)

[babinm]

I agree the idea is to analyize the modes as separate entities. Frank Gambales Modes nO Mysterey is a great DVD as he creates harmonies you can loop on your recorder and play for hours in all the modes to your own songs really hearing what they are. Minor dorian is redundant and confusing.

[brunoloko21]

tsss esta lokisimo se la sabe esta pàt martino

[lagold80]

Hes totally using the altered  phrygamixolydian dominant flat 9 mode off of the #6 scale degree of the D melodic minor at 2:16!

[idowork7000]

do you think he thinks about that whens he's playing ? i've always wondered lol

[sclogse1]

Now, lets teach the taliban how to do this, so they something else going on in their lives.

It may take a while, tho..as I haven't figured this out yet either.

I can't even hum it.

[IpkisStanley]

lol

[ivanmikyska]

That keyboard player is crazy!!! Listen to the walking bass he plays in his solo!

[klainwoman]

Yeaaaaah!!!Jazz Up!!!

[Tezman82]

His lines just don't end. He could hold a groove for a year and three weeks, come back and still be in the pocket.

[thejazzman8]

then he'll circle his signature lick for 24 bars while everyone else builds....amnesia my ass.....he never forgot what he was born to do.

[suckemgood]

Actually, it wasn't amnesia, it was an aneurysm and it was near fatal.

[donottawaguitar]

just perfect its like a rocket takeing off

[SonnyT2]

Of course, Pat Martino was born with the name Pat Azarra.

[guitaristavista]

when ur born with the name Pat Martino, fame is inevitable. superb

[osensei2987]

Yeah man! Unfortunately though he was born w/ the name is Pat Azzara. LOL!

[Manolian]

The hippest of the Hip,and coolest of the cool.

[elliottcrib]

@Manolian

Yea, yea , yea... what he said ... the hippest of the hip,and the coolest of the cool ...

( Me live in Amazon Jungle ... we love Pat martino ... he bad- ass jazz player)

[G7flat5]

Pat Martino is so hip. He was playing hip shit in the 1960's and still continues to do so. Pat Martino = H.I.P.
